Bloggers are not employed by Blogitive. We are Freelance bloggers & get paid from clients which happen to include U.S. clients. I hope it all blows over soon & a solution is made for the Blogitive tax issue.
I intend to get the money I have earned & continue to get paid for my work even though the U.S. government may want non U.S. national to pay taxes to the U.S. government. Most importantly, for U.S. national or otherwise, is that we should receive our earned money.
Below was the email from Gail of Blogitive to clarify regarding the recent SSN & fill W-9 Tax from issue.
“Thank you for contacting us about the recent changes to the payment information requirements. Don’t worry — you don’t have to miraculously become a U.S. citizen in order to receive payments from Blogitive. 
As stated in our internal blog, we’re working on altering the form to accept a variety of addresses and stop requiring a SSN for non-U.S. citizens. For obvious reasons (being a US company and all), it was important for us to start gathering this information from U.S. bloggers first, so we pushed the form live as soon as it could do that. When changes are completed and everyone can update their information, we’ll let you know via blog post. Thanks for your patience, and happy blogging!”
